Here in germany Deutsche Telekom has a long history of claiming ownership for the color magenta.
They have sued or sent cease & desist letters to numerous companies using the color magenta in their Logo, Website, etc.
Even companies totally unrelated to telecommunication whatsoever.
Actually, the LGPL gives you somewhat more "freedom" than the GPL does.
LGPL allows you to integrate code into commercial products, without putting your "derivative" application under the LGPL too.
The GPL requires this.
These searches are especially important in cases where the suspects are aware that their internet traffic and phone calls may be monitored[?????!!!!!!] and choose to store sensitive information directly on their hard drives without emailing it. What he means by this, is:
The Bundespolizei (like FBI in the US) , whose president mr ziercke is, seeks to get a bill passed by the government rulingt that:
- Calls you make on the telephone get registered (your number, destination number, time)
- Every Request to the internet gets registered (your IP, destination IP, time)
for 6 months.
And, of course, potential criminals would be "aware" if such a measure would come into effect.
The Federal Court at the moment trials to other laws recently made by our governmnet:
- So called "Vorratsdatenspeicherung" - That is everytime you connect to an internet Server or Call some number on the telephone it gets registered what server you did connect, what number you've called and how long the connection lasted.
This data shall be saved for 6 months, according to the new law.
- Mass scanning of car numbers through camera systems at the roadside by the police. Police claims the scanned numbers are not stored , but rather being matched against a database of known fugitives. But some doubt definitely remains here.
Both laws were heavily and partly critically questioned by the Judges at the Federal Court ("Bundesverfassungsgericht") at the oral proceedings.
Those judges also have a long standing history of invalidating laws that would take government power too far.

Actually Media Markt and Saturn are owned by the same holding company (the "media saturn holding" ;))
